>worked as an engineer at a big consultancy firm for 2 years >boss always screamed and overloaded me with work >read books and went to workshops on how to be more assertive and negotiate with psychopathic bosses >arranged a meeting with my boss one day >tried to diplomatically resolve the situation and told him I can still be productive without being shouted at everyday >boss took me outside his office >got fired on the spot in front of everyone >now unemployed for past 7 months because apparently I've been blacklisted >live with parents
If I just kept my mouth shout and obeyed I would still have my $85k job today.
It feels so good to be a neet and read all these horrific wagecuck stories and know I will never have to deal with that shit again.
Still, I had a similar boss to you once. Being treated like that really does fuck you up, and it takes a few years for the emotional wounds to heal. Fuck people like that. If I could go back in time I'd have quit way way earlier than I did, and knocked the guy out as well. Be glad you left user. Don't try to stay in abusive situations like that.
Carson Diaz
Nobody from the place I used to work will give me a reference. Even those people who I thought I got along well with and did a lot of favors for. I phoned them up and its always like >"ummm sorry bro...I can't really help you with that....uhhh...wish you the best..."
I've also tried reaching out to my college alumni but they don't want to help either.
Ryder Williams
People always say things like "if you don't like your job, then just quit lmao"
But its not that fucking simple.
If I just quit I wouldn't be able to do a number of things like >not be able to rent because no proof of income >not be able to take out a loan because no proof of income >not be able to set up a business because I don't have a physical address >not be able to get medical insurance because no proof of income
A lot of things we take for granted in society are dependent on having a job.
Aaron Wright
Looks like you've been fucked user. Best to try to go into another industry altogether.
If you have any savings left over, try to get at least a 1k Link suicide stack as well so you can earn income from running a node whenever the fuck mainnet is. If Link works out you will not be so bummed out and depressed about being blacklisted.
Yeah I know I was in the same situation user a few years back. I didn't quit, I eventually got fired too. But looking back, it wasn't worth it, in hindsight I wished I had just quit way earlier, it wasn't worth it working under a psychopathic shithead for so long.
Luke Lewis
>people Boomers are not people. This is stricly a Boomerism. Ignore that advice.
Mason Hernandez
You could have at least beat his ass user. Your bedroom at your parents would have still been there when you got out of jail and it would have all been worth it in the end.
My only advice is to buy as much link as you can
Charles Morales
>being so completely incompetent that you manage to turn a conversation with your boss about treating you like a human being into your boss just publicly executing you
yeah listen to this subnormal scam, its always your fault user, capitalism is perfect, YOU are always to blame, the system is fine, it was your fault. firm handshake and eye contact.
Brayden James
*scum
Adrian Howard
lmao i'd get back at my boss if he did that to me.
Jaxson Nguyen
>its always your fault user
Big dog's gotta eat
Dominic Phillips
i've been thinking about that but how do i go about doing it? i barely know about the guy i worked for 2 years. doesn't have a facebook or linkedin, so no social media presence.
Jeremiah Reyes
best thing to do is just move on, get with the unemployment office for job search assistance and maybe do some resume and interview workshops.
Dylan Bennett
>blacklisting Is this a new meme larp? Saw it in a couple of threads today.
Dominic Reed
it's real.
Josiah Stewart
No it's real, it's actually something that large (mostly financial) cooperations do.
I'm sorry user, hopefully that piece of shit dies of a heart attack from one of his psychopathic rage frenzies. Cold call some companies man, look for small engineering companies. Don't go for the consulting firms, those places are cuck cages. Look for a small manufacturing company that has in house engineers. You'll start at the bottom, but those companies are usually pretty decent and respectful. What engineering branch are you in anyways?
Gavin Watson
>boss always screamed and overloaded me with work user..don't let this happen again. the second someone tries that shit you need to do something. even if your response is sperging out.
t. worked in eng consultancy for 6 years.
John Morgan
>This fucking cuck making excuses for his overlords Sometimes these people cannot be reasoned with and they have an unstable ego/temper
Robert Russell
>Sometimes these people cannot be reasoned with and they have an unstable ego/temper You don't think user knew this about his boss of TWO YEARS?
Then he goes ahead and approaches the situation in the exact manner which would antagonize a person like his boss the most.
He deserves to be fired, not for poor job performance, but for showing such naivete and ignorance in delicate social situations. But then again, maybe that is par for the course with engineers.
Parker Perez
if you are a licensed engineer you should have no trouble finding a job.
William James
Now this I totally agree with. OP should have seen the situation was fruitless and down right dangerous for his position. Imagine going up to a major ego faggot like steve jobs with demands.
Camden Scott
>t. college kiddo You're adorable. What are you, 21? 22?
Nicholas Lopez
depends on your engineering specialty. if you are electrical or chemical then it shouldnt be hard at all to come up with something he'd have a blast with
Isaac Moore
It's lillegal but nobody in the US actually enforces labor laws because hurr durr that's socialism.
Julian Ward
Is this typically normal for an office? I'm self employed and just can't grasp the idea of people openly yelling at each other unless it's some big IB bank with way more at stake than I'll ever imagine.
Jacob Lewis
user no matter what degree you have or how many certificates you hold you will always be a slave as an employee and as such you must always be ready to bend over like a good slave and take it. Welcome to America/Earth, enjoy your stay.
Jacob Baker
This. It took me a year and a half to get my shitty ass engineering job, and that was only through finally having a reference inside the company. Fuck meme of an industry.
Jackson Reed
This. It took me a year and a half to get my shitty ass engineering job, and that was only through finally having a reference inside the company. Fuck this meme of an industry.
Lucas Morales
>Is this typically normal for an office? Depends on the office. In mine, I've only seen one person yet at another person. It was a female project manager yelling at one of her resources for always making excuses and not doing his job. He had basically told her one thing, she told that thing to the client, then he came back immediately after the meeting and told her something totally different.
To be honest he deserved to get yelled at.
Noah Sullivan
what are you retarded? an engineering degree is like being guaranteed a job. in construction they will hire civil engineers just to meet required qouta's of how many are needed onsite. any IT job will have a listing for an electrical engineer. chemical engineers probably have the widest category of jobs available to them. biomedical will somewhat lock you down to a hospital or production of medical equipment only. engineering is the easiest degree to find a job with outside of maybe nursing
Maybe for the US in good areas. Even in Canada, only a third of the people with an engineering degree work in engineering. If you don't get a job when you graduate, you're pretty much done because getting your first job is the most difficult step and experience and connections matter more than anything afterwards.
Joseph Parker
>t. never applied for an engineering job
Dylan Hughes
What do you call a thing that you use to accomplish some task, which is of limited supply and can generally only be used for one thing at a time?
have you ever considered that perhaps it's because no one likes you, because you are an asshole. You really come off as a tool, you are probably also ugly.
wish you the best though..
Tyler Jones
Dude if you don't like your job just quit.
Your not a slave lol. You can just quit and get another job, its a free market. lol.
>not be able to rent because no proof of income
No ones forcing you to quit your job and lose this.
>not be able to take out a loan because no proof of income
Why should you be able to force banks to give you a loan if you wont do your job?
>not be able to set up a business because I don't have a physical address
Well maybe you shouldn't have quit your job.
Alexander Bennett
Is it normal practice in the US to be yelled at by your supervisor/boss? I mean my boss can tell me I am an incompetent retard, I have no problem with that if he does so in a calm, polite manner. Being yelled at it's like elementary school shit, no one should put up with that
Asher Parker
Yes.
Moreso in Blue Collar jobs, than say a white collar environment though.
Hudson Hill
next time dont confront your big ego ass boss, you find a new job and quit (maybe precisely in a time when he really needs you). its never worth working for a retard
Jose Hernandez
thats gotta be bull. blue collars dont have "deliverables" that give bosses an excuse to yell.
Angel Campbell
He can never shout at anyone again if he's dead...
Lucas Green

Michael Gomez
Your life is effectively over bud. You either go back to school and get an entirely new degree in a new industry
Orrrrrr You burn your ex bosses house down
Or you go turbo autist and slowly fuck with him to the point he an hero’s as an escape
Remember no one can hold power over you when you have nothing left to use
Look forward to hearing about your escapades as you get carted to the loony bin
Remember if you do this “the voices made you do it”
They let the crazy guy go in Canada who beheaded that dude on the bus
Just endure the couple of years at the loony bin and “recover” then collect neetbux for the rest of your life
Dylan Wright
Wouldn't the wise decision be to seek employment outside the reach of your previous employer? It may be the opportunity of a lifetime to travel and earn some O.E
Brandon Foster
>boss always screamed and overloaded me with work My "boss" was screaming and ordering me to finish impossible task within an impossible time windows, that I had just to sit, work and obey, doing every kind of psyco-blackmailing, and repeating me that I could not find a better job. I literally sent him to go fuck off and the same day started to apply for other companies (I had no risk to get fired cause I was strictly necessary for the project to be delivered, so...fuck it). Just found a better paid job and resigned, he came back trying to lick my ass. Refused to stay on board with a 30% increase and a big bonus. So if you are in the same situation, fuck it, just find a better job and resign as soon as possible.
Christian Hall
who even calls references anymore? list your previous boss as a reference and nobody will contact them
Julian Phillips
t. boomer
Kayden Carter
All it takes is a bullet and a match, mate. Lots of bullets.
Fucking lol. What did he say when he fired you, OP?
Adrian Richardson
Just cite the HR department, they can't not give you a reference
Camden Russell
That's not bad advice
Jose Powell
Wanting to obey. Go to his office and beat him up.
Isaac Martinez
Knowing how you guys feel. After overworking for a year to get a promotion, I requested a fixed list of my responsibilities (Pokemon-playing colleagues took credit and shifted blame). Was set up to fail, and out of a job two months later.
This. If it stinks, GTFO ASAP.
Henry Richardson
Your first mistake was trying to negotiate dominance instead of asserting it, especially with a psycho.
Your second mistake was not leaving after the 24 months mark.
Your third mistake was not ambushing him a night of winter and breaking all his teeth and knees after you realized he blacklisted you.
true AND if they lie about the circumstances of your firing to an extent where it negatively affects your prospects, it's considered defamation and you could sue them
Christopher Johnson
Read up about narcissistic persinality disorder, it truly is an epidemic
Get self employed or aby other way to get an income that doesnt make you directly dependent on others
Kevin Taylor
why the fuck is this shit legal? thats straight up wrong
shouldnt the department of labor be on they ass?????????????
Daniel Gray
Its called wageslavery for a reason
Austin Hall
why didn't you just kill him? If everyone killed their psychopathic bosses then workers would be treated better.
